What is the nature of truth?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Truth cannot be captured in words; it is a living experience that unfolds when you look beyond the pointers and perceive for yourself."
According to Osho, truth is not in words or doctrines but in the direct seeing they only point toward. Any statement about truth distorts it; once spoken, it becomes false. Teachings are merely indicators—use them to turn your attention. Truth cannot be expressed, only realized as living experience when you look where the pointing leads and perceive for yourself.
